To support its claim that the science is settled that "You should wear a mask", the NYT cites a study showing that cloth #masks are highly ineffective at blocking viral-sized particles even if sealed around the edge, which isn't so in real world usage.

To support its claim that the science is settled that "You should wear a mask", the NYT cites a study showing that it's pointless unless you're in "prolonged close contact" with others. #Lockdown #Masks #Liberty

The NYT claims "most experts" agree everyone should wear a mask in community settings, but the WHO maintains that it's unnecessary for healthy people who aren't coughing or sneezing, which makes sense given the NYT's own explanation of viral transmission.

By the same reasoning, we can/should protest #lockdown measures that cause economic harm, which comes with its own cost in health and lives, and which disproportionately harms the poor, with the impoverished being disproportionately black.

Since economic harms of #lockdown fall disproportionately on the poor, the poor are disproportionately black, and public health workers now say it's okay to protest because #BlackLivesMatter, it's our moral duty to protest state orders impairing people's ability to make a living.
